Falcons vs Seahawks Monday Night Thread

who are we pulling for?

I haven't looked into the particulars, but I don't think we want the Falcons to win. They aren't out of division race and are right in the mix for the wild card . 

There's a feasable situation where both the Falcons and Panthers make it in as wild cards and the Saints also make it in as the division winner. 

Take for example , if both teams win out until we face eachother in the last game of the season, we would be 12-3 and they would be 11- 4. If they win the final game, that makes both of us 12 - 4 . We split the series, but we would have more NFC losses , so I think tiebreakers would have them being ahead of us in any sort of playoff seeding or divisional placement which is a problem. And this is all assuming we win out for the rest of the season until that game.

I honestly think the Saints are going to be in for a rude ass awakening by the time they start playing these late season divisional games. Atlanta still has Super Bowl level talent and they're starting to gell in the 2nd half of the season. Our running game is coming alive and Cam's starting to feel it. And the Bucs just are probably due for a late season upset.

Seahawks, as Atlanta is a far bigger threat to us.  But I doubt they win. 

not really.

seahawks are in the way for a wildcard, so the more they lose the better. 

atlanta isn't a threat unless we let them be. we're comfortably fine with them winning.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
